PRESIDENT ELECT: BARACK OBAMA _ THE HOPE OF THE NATION!!
HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS TO PRESIDENT ELECT: BARACK OBAMA, ON BECOMING THE 44th PRESIDENT OF THE USA.
Following the USA Election, there has been great rejoicing among the majority in the USA that Barack Obama, the first African American, has been voted the 44th President of the USA. This is more so among the people of “colour”, who longed and dreamed including those who laid down their lives, like the late Martin Luther King, to witness the day, when one of their own would be the President of the most powerful nation upon earth, the USA. Many nations around the world are also very pleased that he is voted the next President of the USA. Once he takes office, by virtue of that office, he will be regarded as the most powerful person upon the earth.
President Elect: Barack Obama won the Election in dramatic style based upon his promises to the American peoples. He has promised CHANGE and now everyone will hold him to his word and expects him to MAKE TRUE HIS PROMISES. He has his work cut out with the prevailing problems he is inheriting, mainly due to the financial slump and the poor economic state of the country. He also has the legacy of the ongoing Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the best way to address the threats posed by Iran and North Korea. Unlike other Presidents, he is taking up office with the country heavily in engaged in two wars. His work is indeed a very daunting and unenviable one, which is not for the weak or fainthearted.
As the President of the USA, the nations of the world expects him to play his role and work alongside them for peace and stability, as well as revive trade and lend to their economic prosperity.
A very great and magnanimous responsibility rest upon this young man. With his election to the office of the President, there has been great rejoicing in the USA, in Kenya, the home of his father. Likewise, there is rejoicing by many in many other countries around the world. At the news of his success, many countries in the world have sighed a sigh of relief that he has been voted the new President of the USA. However, from now on the real test begins. WILL HE BE ABLE TO DELIVER ALL THAT HE HAS PROMISED?? Will he meet up to the expectations of everyone? This will only be known at the end of his term in office.
People everywhere are looking to Elect President, Barack Obama to bring about the changes he has promised. Many have lost their businesses, jobs and their homes, while many of them face a bitter winter and hard times ahead. Their situation is dire! They are therefore looking him to redeem their situation. He is their only hope as well as the hope of the entire nation of the USA. He is also the hope of many in the world who have been affected by the global financial crisis. This is more applicable now than at any other time in history, due to the global financial crisis and the credit crunch which began there in the USA and has acutely affected the rest of the world.
The repercussion of the financial troubles which began in the USA has had a devastating effect upon the economies of the world which has affected almost everyone one in this world. Everyone is looking to him and expecting him to turn the situation around and revive the economic situation.
President Elect, Barack Obama, made genuine promises upon which he won the Election by a great majority. He will do everything in his power to fulfil those promises, although he is aware that it will not be easy or dealt with over night. However, he is human and he and his government can only do their best with the cooperation of everyone in the country. His only hope of fulfilling his promises and to bring about the CHANGE which he has promised in order to meet the dreams and aspiration of those who trusted him and voted for him, is through DIVINE INTERVENSION alone.
THIS DIVINE INTERVENSION CAN ONLY COME FROM THE ELOHIM OF HEAVEN: YAHWEH, YAHUSHUA AND THE RUACH HA KODESH. It is ONLY THE ELOHIM OF HEAVEN ALONE WHO CAN HELP HIM TO FULFIL THE PROMISES HE MADE. Likewise, HE IS THE ONLY ELOHIM WHO CAN HELP HIM TO GOVERN THAT HUGE COUNTRY OF THE USA AND TO WORK WITH THE GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD.
The great tasks and responsibilities which he now faces, faced one young man before when he was crowned King. That young man was King Solomon. However, he was not alone because his Elohim was caring for him. Thus, in a dream, Yahweh appeared to him as soon as he was crowned and asked him what he wanted Him to do for him. Solomon did not ask for long life or riches, neither the lives of his enemies. Instead, he asked for wisdom, knowledge and understanding so that he could rule the great nation he was placed over. The following is the account:
"5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and [Yahweh] God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 7 And now, O[Yahweh] Lord my [Elohim] God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in. 8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
10 And the speech pleased [Yahweh] the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And [Yahweh God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 12 behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days". 1Kings 3:5-14. (KJV).
" [Yahweh] God gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, and knowledge too vast to be measured. 30 In fact, his wisdom exceeded that of all the wise men of the East and the wise men of Egypt. 31 He was wiser than anyone else. . . His fame spread throughout all the surrounding nations". 1 Kings 4: 29-31. (NLT).
This is the same help and blessings which President Elect, Barack Obama, needs from Yahweh, the Elohim of heaven, Who cares for His children and for their peace, prosperity and happiness in this world. In order to be successful in office and fulfil the promises he made to the nation, he needs divine help from the Ruach Ha Kodesh, the Holy Spirit, Whom Yahweh sent to be with us here upon earth and to dwell with us and be our Teacher, Leader, Helper and Guide, as well as to give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding, among His many offices.
President Elect, Barack Obama and his family, need constant prayer, including prayer for their health, safety and protection. It is true that the security around them is as full proof as it can ever be. However, they need divine protection because the Scripture says:
"Except [Yahweh] the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Except [Yahweh] the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain". Psalms 127:1. (KJV).
President Elect, Barack Obama and his family need teams of intercessors 24/7, who will faithfully pray and intercede on their behalf. This intercession needs to start immediately! Praying for them should continue as long as he is President of the USA. There is also the need to pray for those whom he will choose as his ministers to work with him during his tenure in office. His success and the fulfilling of his promises to the people of the USA, depend very much upon earnest and sincere prayers to Yahweh, our Father, for His divine help and intervention in his life and administration.
It is the duty of all Christians at this time to pray constantly for this young man, upon whom rests such a great and awesome responsibility. Therefore, I am appealing to CHRISTAINS EVERYWHERE, to PRAY FOR PRESIDENT ELECT, BARACK OBAMA, FOR HIS FAMILY, HIS MINISTERS, WHOM HE WILL CHOOSE TO BE IN HIS ADMINISTRATION AND FOR THE GREAT NATION OF THE USA, WHO HAS ELECTED HIM AS THEIR 44th PRESIDENT.
A PRAYER FOR PRESIDENT ELECT, BARACK OBAMA:
Gracious Yahweh, my Heavenly Father, in the holy and righteous Name of Yahushua, our Saviour, I come before You today. Loving Father, Yahushua and the Ruach Ha Kodesh, I bless and praise You and give You thanks, righteous Elohim for Your love and care for us. I worship You and give You the honour and the worship which are due to You alone, for You are the ONLY TRUE AND LIVING ELOHIM and the ELOHIM ALONE, WHO HEARS AND ANSWERS THE PRAYERS OF YOUR CHILDREN.
Loving Father, Yahweh, in the Name of Yahushua, I lift up before You, President Elect, Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and his two daughters, Malia and Sasha. I thank you that You are the Elohim Who places rulers into office and the Elohim Who also removes them from office (Romans 13: 1). Kind Father, I believe that You ordained for this young man to hold the highest office in his country, the office of the President of the USA, at this crucial time in the history of this world.
Gracious Father, Yahweh, in the Name of Yahushua, Please bless him, give him good health and the wisdom and understanding which he needs at this time and throughout his time in the Presidential office. May He see the need to seek from You the wisdom and understanding which You gave to Your servant, King Solomon, during his reign as King of Israel. Please help him to make wise decisions and enact true and just Laws which will be in accordance with Your Word. Please fill him with Your Spirit, the Ruach Ha Kodesh, and be His Guide and Protector constantly, so that like Solomon, there will be no president of the USA, like him before or after him.
Please give this young man divine help and great wisdom to work and interact with other nations. Please give him wisdom too concerning how to best work with Iran and North Korea regarding their biological programmes and the threat they pose to the west.
Kind Father Yahweh, Please endow President Elect, Barack Obama, with divine wisdom when making decisions regarding the political situation in Israel. Loving Father, Yahweh, Please help him to know how important it is that he seeks Your help with any decision that he will make regarding that small, but very important nation. May he know that You are the Elohim the children of Israel and for that reason You watch over the land of Israel. Likewise, may he be aware that You care for them and protect them and that You fight for them!! Please help him to understand that it is not because of the present Jews why You specifically care for them, but that it is because of the relationship You had with their forefather, Abraham, whom You blessed and with whom You made Your covenant and also gave Your eternal promise (Genesis 17). Please help him to know that Your promise to Abraham still holds true today because You are an Elohim Who never change nor alter Your Word (Malachi 4:6; Psalm 89:34).
Kind Father, Your promise to Abraham was:
“I will cause you to become the father of a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and I will make you a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you”. Genesis 12: 2, 3. (NLT).
That blessing, gracious Father, has passed on to Abraham’s son, Isaac, and his grandson, Jacob, whom You renamed Israel, and whose descendants are the Jews. May President Elect, Obama, know and understand that although the Jews are a small nation, that You are still with them because of Your promise and covenant with their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Therefore, part of his success or failure in office will also depend upon the actions he will take when dealing with the political situation in Israel.
Please grant him wisdom to choose experienced and wise advisors to advise him. Please give him wisdom also to choose capable ministers to be in his administration, who will work with him for the good of his country and for the nations around the world. Please bless them, protect them and work through them to accomplish Your will for the nation because You are still Sovereign in this world, including the USA, which You created and which still belongs to You (Psalm 24: 1, 2).
Gracious Elohim: Yahweh, Yahushua and the Ruach Ha Kodesh, thank You Your love and care for Your children. Please take care of President Elect, Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and his daughters, Malia and Sasha, in every area of their lives and grant them Your divine protection I pray. In particular loving Father, Please grant extra protection to in coming President Barack Obama. You are Yahweh Sabaoth, the Elohim of angel armies, therefore I ask that You, Heavenly Father, will place Your mighty angel soldiers around him at all times to protect him from the assassin’s bullets, from bombs and from all other agents of death which will continually be employed against him. Please also remember his grandmother, Sarah Obama, in Kenya and be with her.
Loving Father, Yahweh, Please take care of the peoples of USA and bless them as You have blessed them over the centuries. May they remember that You are their Elohim and that Yahushua, is their ONLY SAVIOUR. May they turn to You, trust and depend upon You for Your continual help and Your protection over their nation.
Kind Father, Please take care of all the peoples here upon Planet Earth and help everyone to know how near it is to the return of our Saviour, Yahushua, Who is coming soon for His loved ones to take them to be with Him in the Kingdom of Glory in Heaven. May each one be ready and waiting to meet Him in peace and to be with Him forever.
Loving Father, Yahweh, thank You for hearing and answering this prayer, in the holy and righteous Name of Yahushua, I pray and ask these mercies. Amen.
